YouTube Shorts Bonus

YouTube is testing a new Shorts Bonus Program that rewards chosen creators with payments for keeping their Shorts uploads consistent.

The program offers these creators a guaranteed monthly bonus for meeting a set number of uploads, with the chance to earn more based on their video views and engagement.

Rather than relying on viral videos, creators can earn extra income by persevering to a regular posting schedule and by building their audience.

The trial is currently invite-only, running across six countries, including the US, UK, Germany, Brazil, Japan and South Korea.

It’s a new opportunity for creators, specifically emerging artists, to get rewarded for staying active, growing their audience and keeping their content flowing.
